Even angels make mistakes in this page-turning epic romance When her parents are murdered before her eyes, sixteen-year-old Helen Cartwright finds herself launched into an underground London where a mysterious organization called the Dictata controls the balance of good and evil. Helen learns that she is one of three remaining angelic descendants charged with protecting the world's past, present, and future. Unbeknownst to her, she has been trained her whole life to accept this responsibility. Now, as she finds herself torn between the angelic brothers protecting her and the devastatingly handsome childhood friend who wants to destroy her, she must prepare to be brave, to be hunted, and above all to be strong, because temptation will be hard to resist, even for an angel. Michelle Zink masterfully weaves historical fantasy with paranormal romance to create a gripping tale of love and betrayal.

****FINAL RATING: 4.30 STARS****CATCHALLI've loved Michelle's books for a long time, so when I first heard of this books I knew that I had to have it. This was an incredible angel book. Not only was it obvious well-researched, it also managed to be completely unlike anything I've ever read. The twis...

It sounded so interesting and right up my alley and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint.After sixteen year old Helen Cartwright loses her parents, she's forced t...
